Life IS what happens while you are busy making other plans. ~ John Lennon

That my friends becomes more and more true for me every day.

I had plans… big plans, HUGE PLANS… and then life happened.

Now I still have plans but they’re almost a complete polar opposite from what they started out to be.

My plan: I was going to kick ass at my mechanic apprenticeship.

My life: The hours were too long for me and my Wee… she missed me, she missed her house… The money was running short because the pay was small… and I was a bag of stress because my memory is failing me more and more as time passes….

There were also a million other little reasons why it just wasn’t working out as planned; but those are the big ones; the biggest being my daughter not being happy. She comes first.

So life happened. I left the place I was apprenticing at, I got in touch with some old employers, I got some ‘work’, and I found a new job. I start my new job on Monday and I’m very excited; straight days, 8 hour days, 5 days a week…. It’s a good fit. Once the babysitting situation straightens itself out, I’ll be all set!! Hopefully that falls into place this week.

Also… things are still going amazingly well with Jason; and he’s been very supportive through all of this… He’s been my rock in the rough waters of Life Happening.

So, the moral of this little story:
Just when you think it’s all going to shit just remember, life has a plan. You may not be expecting that plan, but it has a plan. And sometimes all you can do in life is ride out the storm and see what the plan is once the storm is over.
